I'm making the fake double hat using this pattern (http://www.mielkesfarm.com/bsic_hat.htm), but I'm not doing the fold over edge this time. About how wide is the ribbed edge? I wasn't counting the rows :rollseyes: so I need inches. I think I have about 1.25 inches now, but haven't measured. Thanks!

I've used that same pattern and have now made...what? LOL 5 hats. 1 w/ the fold for my daughter the other 4 without. Neway I made the ribbing edge 2 in. They seemed to come out really well. I guess you could add 1/2 in. (to make it 2 1/2 in.) if you wanted too..but, 2 in. worked fine.

btw, I just finished this hat http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/kpatt11.htm

...and it had a 2 in. ribbing pattern also..

Hope this helps!

That's a nice hat, Knitbit! Since this one is going to be double and for my DH I think I'll make it about 1.5 inches. Thanks!
